FROM FLAM TO GROOVE

"From Flam To Groove" shows how the rudiments can be used to create exciting patterns for the drumset. Rudimental patterns are obviously great for fills, since they can create interesting licks as you break them up around the kit. However, the rudiments are also great for expanding your groove vocabulary, as the following patterns will illustrate. Original Source and More info From Dom Famularo Online Store

Prof.Sounds Drum Tuning Bible v3

Within this version you will find a more detailed definition of what to listen for in tuning. I’ve expanded upon the head selections, the role of microphones and the electronics. You’ll also find the definition of some of the terms used to define sound characteristics so we can communicate better and is less difficult to get an idea across. We will tackle the construction aspects of the drum in greater detail by exploring the issue of woods, metals, drum sizing, and how it all translates into sound and cost. And then I touch on what I consider to be a proper way to pick cymbals and drum sets. In this age of E-commerce and a constant desire to pay the cheapest price rather than receive service, I admit it may be difficult for many on a budget to employ these concepts. But I ask you to view them with an open mind because even if you decide to buy over the Internet, the concept will help sort things out. It seems the selections in local stores are getting less abundant and more geared towards the beginner and intermediate player rather than the medium to advanced player. This too is unfortunate, because it means you may actually have to put more time into your thoughts and selections in the form of travel if you really want to pick good products that reflect your personality.
